Gujarat classifies 268 talukas into two categories under new industrial policy

Gujarat's state administration announced a fresh industrial policy that groups 268 talukas into two distinct categories to streamline investment incentives. The classification differentiates areas based on infrastructure readiness and growth potential, with one tier receiving higher fiscal benefits, faster clearances and priority for large‑scale projects. Officials said the move is expected to draw both domestic and foreign investors, create jobs and lift the state's manufacturing output. The policy also outlines a framework for periodic review, land allocation, skill‑development programmes and other support mechanisms. Implementation begins in the upcoming fiscal year, with the government monitoring inflows and adjusting incentives as needed.
